Spielworks acquires Wasder.gg and expands its own ecosystem

Berlin-based company Spielworks has acquired Swedish social gaming platform Wasder.gg. Spielworks continues to expand its own Web3 gaming ecosystem.

Berlin-based Spielworks has announced the acquisition of Wasder.gg, a gamification-based social gaming platform with over one million users. The Swedish company is known for its approach to complementing Web3 and mainstream games with seasonal boosts, battle passes and features such as content sharing, matchmaking and chat. The price of the acquisition was not disclosed.

The next step, inspired by similar models at Epic Games and others, is for Spielworks to integrate Wasder's social components into the "Wombat" ecosystem. This will strengthen the connection between games, players and digital asset trading. Spielworks sees the acquisition as a transformative step towards a full-service ecosystem that meets the diverse needs of the modern gamer.

Adrian Krion, Co-CEO of Spielworks, said of the collaboration: "We've always envisioned Wombat as a place of connectivity and discovery. With the acquisition of AtomicHub a few months ago and now Wasder, we've added the missing pieces to our complete Web3 gaming ecosystem and expanded it to over seven million users". AtomicHub was acquired on 11 September 2023. It is a marketplace for NFTs, a one-stop solution for creating, selling and trading blockchain gaming items and digital collectibles.

Spielworks was founded in 2018 by Swen E. Hallasch and Adrian Krion. The company aims to bring blockchain into the gaming mainstream. Spielworks currently operates the Web3 games and NFT platform 'Wombat', 'AtomicHub' and what it claims is the top 20 Web3 game 'Dungeon Master'. Spielworks currently employs 34 staff.
